CANADA'S FISHERIES.

The Negotiations Have Not Been
Broken Off in Disagreement.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Secretary Bayard
said to the NEWS correspondent to-day that
there was not the slightest foundation for
the report that the fisheries negotiations had
been broken off in disagreement. The
negotiations have been adjourned until Sat
urday when they will be resumed He
could not say what their duration would be,
but he felt sure that no one would begrudge
the time necessary to settle such an i'm
portant question. He would, of course, say
nothing about the negotiations themselves,
but it is understood that while the negotia-
tions are proceeding slowly the negotiators
feel hopeful of reaching a satisfactory set
tlement
WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.
1t is also understood that so far the ne
gotiations have dealt only with the ques-
tions as to the rights of our fishing vessels
in Canadian ports and as to the rights of
Canadian fishing vessels in our ports. includ-
ing the three-mile limit problem. Minister
of Marine Foster, of the Dominion govern
ment, the most active of the Dominion
officers in all the dealings with our fishing
yes els of the past two years, has arrived.
and is advising the British Commissioners,
particularly as to the policy heretofore pur-
sued by the Dominion government and
the facts and theories upon which
it was based. He urges them to resist the
claims of the United States that our fishing
vessels are entitled to all the commercial
rights i'll Canadian ports which we accord to
Canadian fishing vessels in our ports, and
that the three mile limit should follow the
indentation and curves of the coast.

The Educatjon Commit.ee.

The committee on education Yesterday
considered the bill to have county school
superintendent appointed by the high
school board. 1t was discussed in a gem
eral way. but no definite action taken.
There is well-deyeiOped spirit of opposi-
ton manifested in the committee,
principally on the ground that sue h
a bill would place too much power in the
hands of one or two men. 1t has been
stated that Dakota county is well satisfied
with its experience. its superintendent haY-
ing been appointed in this way. A promi-
nent citizen of that county said that the
appointment was not a very satisfactory
one. and that the incumbent was given the
place solely because he is a special personal
friend of Kiehle's. This state OF affairs
would, it is claimed, exist all over the state
if this power was vested in the high school
board.

The reason why Senator Bowen's bill TO ie-
galize the canvass of the vote upon article s

the same as the vote for congressman. Local
returning boards made the error OF returning
the vote TO the state board instead. When

Wabasla street frontage. or a total of
S1S7, 500. This seems like a high figure
compared with prices that have heretofore
ruled but it is one of the best, if not the
very best. unimproved corner in the city.
and Col. Davidson says he will sell it at
that price or for higher figure before July

business streets in the city, like Jackson.

Those who buy of them get fair treatment,
and usually are able TO sell again at an adj
vance. Their sales have been very large
during the past thirty days.

Confucius' Home DESTROYED.

A recent confagration in a remote
Chinese village destroyed the ancestral
home of the family of Confucius with
all its contents, texts on stone, COM

celain, jewels and precious metal work;
in brief one of the most remarkable
literary and artistic museums in the
world, containinga as it did nearly every
extant memorial of the great teacher.
In that building, erected about 600 B.

male heirs of the Chinese philosopher
have dwelt in unbrOken line for two

Training Domestic Animals.

Neither the horse nor any other do
nestle animal should ever be made
afraid of man. The horse or COW that
is afraid of its keeper will never thrive
rs will the animal that has trusting
confidence in the hand that feeds and
controls. In well trained animal
good behavior becomes habit. 1t is
just as easy for a cow to stand with her
legs in the right as in the wrong place
when she is being MIXED. and it is not
necessary to continually pound her into
submission. 1t is no hardship for a
horse to pull a reasonable load or trot
at reasonable gait, and there is no
necessity for exciting his fears in order
to secure the desired result. Let young
animals early learn that man is their
friend, and that they have nothing to
fear at his hands SO long as they are
well-bchaved animals.-N Y. Amer-

Some Amusing Anecdotes Of Men Eagaged
In ''Satlsfyinx Honor"

Some Amusing Anecdotes Of Men Eagaged
In ''SstlsfylnE Honor"
The duel arose out of the ancient ju-
aicial combat. known as the trial by
ordeal. One form of this trial was the
Wager Of Battel, which consisted of q
personal combat between two antagon-
lists in the presence of the judges. The
principle of the trial was reliance on
the immediate providence Of God to in
terpose to give victory to the innocent.
The practice outlasted the principle.
The duel took the place of the judicial
combat, and q point of honor, which
sanctioned revenge and murder, was
allowed to thrust aside an appeal to
God. The motive was no longer to OBJ
tain justice, but to avenge an insult by
numbering the insulting man.
Dueling became so fashionable that a
man, if challenged, had to fight or sub
nit to social Ostracism. But even in
those days. here and there man was
to be found who refused to fight duel
because it was sin against God. A
brave soldier once refused challenge
for reasons which were set forth in the
following lines:
"What, you're afraid, theer' Eyes, I am
you're right;
am afraid to sin, but not to fight.
fear not man nor devil; but though. odd,
I'm not ashamed to own, fear my God"
The alb surdity of two men settling a
point of honor by shooting at each other
was seen even by those who seconded
them.
Two attorneys once fought duel.
and one of them shot away the others

IF your antagonist" said the good

antagonists shook hands and made up.
